Suns split with Drive

August 07, 2007

After committing seven errors in a 7-3 loss to Greensville, the Hagerstown Suns capitalized on a pair of Drive miscues to win the nightcap 3-2 in a doubleheader split Monday night at Municipal Stadium.

Each game lasted seven innings.

In the nightcap, the Suns took a 1-0 lead in the second inning as Jhonatan Solano scored from third on a fielding error.

Another Greenville error gave the Suns an extra out in the third, and they capitalized. Joe Napoli's two-out, two-run double made it a 3-0 game.

Suns starter Jhonny Nunez (4-6) allowed two runs in his fifth and final inning of work. Yader Peralta pitched two scoreless innings for his second save.
